I have to be honest, I prefer the TV series and wouldn’t be rushing out to get the rest of the books, on the other hand I woudn’t not read them if given the opportunity.

This is the first in the series, Dr Temperence (Tempe)Brennan is helping to investigate some women’s deaths, some of which are starting to point to a serial killer. And it looks like the killer is getting closer to Tempe.

Instead of trying to make things more obvious and stepping the detectives through the evidence she takes matters into her own hands, and you can understand the frustration and annoyance for the detectives.
